Excerpt from Training for Effective Study: A Practical Discussion of Effective Methods for Training School Pupils to Organize Their Study Procedure
This volume gives emphasis, in a very practical form, to a relatively new and a very important aspect of the problem of teacher training. Up to at least very recently, and in altogether too many cases still, our normal schools and teacher-training institutions have placed the main emphasis on special methods and practice in teaching. The so-called special-methods courses in the various elementary-school subjects have been given an emphasis clearly beyond their importance in the training of a teacher, and practice in classroom instruction, often without much careful guidance as to means and ends, has been depended on, along with a little psychology, to transform the beginner into a trained and accomplished teacher.
The author of the present volume in the Riverside Textbooks in Education has taken an entirely different view of the process of teacher training, and has placed the emphasis on training pupils to organize their study procedure in an effective manner and to learn to think. Instead of training teachers to assign lessons, control discipline, and hear recitations from textbooks which the pupils have been directed to memorize, he would have teachers trained to direct pupils in study habits, and thus emancipate them from a dependence on both textbooks and teachers.
